1. Risks analysis specific to Work at Height
Problems related with work at height: regulation governing the situations of work in height and material
Physical parameters to take into account:
- The height of the fall
- Fall factor
- Force shock and energy absorption
2. The using rules and the safety principles of the different components used
 Harness: description of the various components and analyses their functions
- Resistance, constitution, adjustments.
- Maintenance, storage.
- Safety harness, work positioning harness: differentiation
- Lanyards and fall arresters: Large range: description, characteristics, advantages, drawback of each one
- Connectors: carabiners snap hooks, manucroche...
 Application of these rules and practical applications on the site
- The harness: implementation, adjustments.
- Moving in the structure (horizontal and vertical)
- Upright work positioning
- Specific interventions
